ceiling is around 24 feet and length is approx 90 and width is probably 70

I would suggest at least 3 cams

We are making a proposal for a customer who has all geo equipment and they want to put a couple of 360 cameras in their gyms I am thinking possibley two per gym but have not used the product and would like some input on this possible solution. I would go with the 12 mega pixel version. If I coulod get by with one that would be even better

Try to do 2

one is not enough ( unless it's small room)

I'm also subscribed to IPVM however they themselves are not attending as they are not too popular with Hikvision at the moment from there last reviews and posts and they thought it best not to attend.

Not too popular here either.

I found an aviligion system that was purchased but never used. It doesn’t come with a software license. Any idea how difficult that is to get and how much they would charge.

Where are u located?

Hello. If your DVR is a standalone appliance and not a card in a computer, the DMZ should be fine. The ports in a standalone DVR are hard coded. In a computer, ports can be negotiated.

"The ports in a standalone DVR are hard coded"?

Explain plz

As with cost of 4 x 64 channel standalone NVR, budget was issue. Hence we thought to implement PC based NVR.

I was not aware that iVMS4200 limits 64 cameras and does not work on remote PCs.

 

So in trouble. He might spend some money but not as standalone NVRs.

check your pm

as per plan, we suppose to install standalone NVRs,

but now i am thinking to make it PC based VMS/NVR

Is your customer prepare to pay for soft Lic?

Hello

we just installed around 200 hikvision IP cameras. All are H265 and H265+.

 

I want to record all cameras on PC with H265 supports.

I tried using iVMS4200, but i am having two big issues.

 

1. It supports maximum 64 cameras.

2. It does not run web server, so it is not possible to live view or view recordings on other PCs and browser.

 

Resources are not an issue, i monitored network utilization, cpu, memory - all are under control and still can handle more cameras.

 

What is the best way to record all 200 cameras, and which can be seen or played recordings on other browsers.

 

Please help.

Thanks

I don't get it

You installed 200 cameras without clear plan

wow

There is no such thing as closed ports for a DVR that is able to communicate with a remote device. It doesn’t work that way. Those QR code readers blow a hole in your firewall so they can communicate with outside servers or they bypass your firewall altogether allowing very easy unfettered access to your network through your DVR.

Really?

How is Team Viewer works behind firewalls?

and lots of other P2P apps

skype? and more

"Those QR code readers blow a hole in your firewall"

What is different in your example

who will open ports

you or App

u see my point?

I would suggest google and understand how certain P2P can work behind "Closed" Ports

I would believe that, but I am also certain that doing manual port forwarding is much more secure. The webinars I watch from hikvision all the time indicate this to be the truth. As a hikvision authorized distributor and retailer I can’t suggest using the pt cloud function.

so, you would keep Open ports instead Closed

Is it good practice?

Hik DVR systems automatically overwrite the oldest recorded data. There is no reason to delete individual clips or days. That’s why you don’t see an option for it, because it is unnecessary.

It is nothing to do with "unnecessary"

Nobody should have right to Delete recording...NOBODY!

Not sure, I never use it. We would never use a QR code setup option.

I see

Would u believe me if I tell you following?

P2P does not have any ports open until you establish connection

What we usually install is Hik OEM and the server port is 8000, RTSP 8558, HTTP 80 and HTTPS 443. I believe it’s the same across the board.

I was asking about P2P

Because it uses default port settings which are easy to find online. You really should set up customer ports.

What is default ports for HIK P2P?

Usually to use the QR code for hik OEM you need to set up pt cloud. There should be an option on the app for that. Then scan the QR code through the app and it will work. This will cut BIG holes in your firewall though so I wouldn’t recommend it. Manual port forwarding is always best.

Why?

Plz explain

A lot of people are having success with the PaleMoon browser.

Very cool

Thx a lot

Check out ubiquiti nanoststations. You can shoot gigabit over 15km wirelessly from point to point. You’ll need to mount a pole so you can get above the tree line, but it will be cheaper than what you are wanting to do.

Are u serious?

Try Avigilon

Core lic

Is there a free/cheap version? It's windows and I can't find any kind of pricing anywhere, and I've looked over the whole website without finding a trial version to try?

 

Am I missing something?

 

If it's expensive AND windows I have much less interest; if it's cheap and windows it may be worth putting up with windows if it's good.

 

Why doesn't Avigilon put some useful information on their websites, like trial information, license cost or TCO estimators, or something?

Download Avigilon server and u will get 30 days trial

So while I wait to find out pricing, a bit of my observations in case it triggers some thoughts from others....

 

Despite being Windows (I hoped for Linux) I have been trying XProtect Essentials+, as it is free and last time I looked it had a 5 day archive limit, since removed.

 

It's a bit less slick than the NX Witness / Spectrum product, but it seems to do all the same things pretty well. Scrubbing back and forth is nicely fast (not quite as fast), and the motion search looks pretty good. Haven't found anything significant either does the other lacks so far (among what I need).

 

One's free. Unfortunately that one runs on Windows. I use windows on my main desktop, but am not a real fan for a sit-in-the-closet-and-run server. plus I run network management on linux on the same server, so if I go with windows I'll need to get some more memory and run a VM for linux on HyperV (the reverse probably doesn't make sense since the NVR will be the biggest workhorse).

 

I'd love any insight people have on these two (or other similar ones, especially that run on Linux for the server side).

I've been using Zoneminder for several years after trying various products, but wanted to look again to see if something better (better searches, more efficient archiving, etc.) Xeoma was attractive back then, even more interesting now, but their review process (especially with more than one camera) is horribly slow.

 

I stumbled across NX Witness and had not seen it before. It has a linux version, it picked up all my Hikvision cameras quickly and well (even will change settings on them), but the most impressive thing so far is I can scrub back and forth through the video from 4 cameras (all I can do in a trial) with no delays, incredibly fast. It's own analytics of disk make it look very efficient (need to find out why -- might not be saving full resolution or something). Have yet to look at the motion detection and other features but am so impressed by the speed of archive review that it jumped to the top of my "check this out" list.

 

Interested to hear if anyone has tried it, thoughts? Price (they are one of those who won't sell direct, have to go through a reseller, which may be a deal killer if they won't deal with a DIY'er and require someone to come "install", etc.)?

 

Any problems over time?

good choice

No. Each POE port is for only one channel/camera.

Yes, you can (without PoE)

 

Really? You can connect a switch to one of the POE ports, add several cameras, and then add them by hand to other channels?

Yes

No. Each POE port is for only one channel/camera.

Yes, you can (without PoE)

The HD-CVI camera format is an analog signal also. It is called Composite Video Interface because it is in fact a Composite of a Sync signal at a higher rate to start the video line, a color burst to synchronize the chroma (color) carrier, a white area just like the analog signal but at a higher rate to fit all the pixels. The Color carrier for the CVI signal is in the 21MHz region as seen on a spectrum analyzer. Both the TVI and CVI signals have a vertical interval also with serrated pulses just like the analog signals of old for vertical blanking. If they were digital signals you would not be able to see any of these things on an oscilloscope. Take a look, you will be surprised. Both the TVI and CVI formats are pure analog High Definition.

You right

but for example 720p/60Hz transmission the carrier is at 58.559489MHz

Hi ak357,

 

I have contacted the only guys I could find in UK that support Avigilon, hoping they get back to me (tech guy was on other line so expecting a callback).

 

What price range are we talking per NVR, could not find anything anywhere online. I would need 64 channels support per location (and three locations), can be either single box or multiple boxes of 32channel min.

 

Max
